Started to airbrush my ZTZ99... this is the furthers that I manage to go before the pump gave up on me... The pump stop after it got warm and slowed down and died after 10mins or so. Waited for it to cool down and try again. You can hear the electrical sound going thru the motor but its not turning at all.... I got hook on airbrushing so will continue with other cheaper alternative. Went stargek to get some air pressure can... Dun think a big can will last me for the entire project.

Oh no...

Those cheap compressors can only be used for a short time, they are rated for "1/3 duty cycle", i.e. 10 minutes running, 20 minutes cooling.

Yeah. Now wonder if I need to get one with the airtank attach. Lesson learn.

Got some time yesterday... dismantle and cut out the airsoft unit as I will not be using it. Opening just nice for my gun barrel led flash to go thru. Will mod a servo elevation later on.

Need space so remove the FRS 7 speaker from the box and got a very tight fit. Why 2 speaker??? Cos the TK22 will take care of the machine gun, main gun, turret rotation and elevation while the TBS mini will handle the engine roaring sound. The TBS mini do have machine gun and main gun firing but have not explore there yet. Looks quite complex so I leave it first.

Next up will be video with full motion (minus the paint job... ). As the saying goes... till the next post. Thanks for watching.
